Nov. 9: A Midwestern Homestyle Dinner

A Midwestern Homestyle Dinner


So today I decided to make the boys a typical, traditional, midwestern dinner. Growing up, Jim's mom made homemade beef and noodles frequently, and when we got married I got to taste them! She taught me how to make them. We LOVE this meal!

I made noodles from scratch, and told the boys how I did it (I didn't think about teaching them how to make it until too late).


We had quite a bit of pork left over from a gigantic roast earlier this week, so we made pork and gravy instead of beef and gravy. It was awesome! We also made mashed potatoes. Yum...


I had some fresh apples from my dad's trees, so I made an apple pie for the boys. We were talking the other day and they had never really had pie before. They had eaten McDonald's apple pies, but not a real one! We had a truly American meal tonight!


To top off the post, I decided to stick in a couple of more sunset shots from tonight. (The boys are going to have quite a collection! :)



And one from earlier this week...
